There is, perhaps, not another title of the Lord more widely known on earth and more dearly loved than that of Savior. He shall be honored in glory everlastingly as "The Savior," for no created being shall ever share that glory with Him. It is a sorrowful day for lost men when, by thought, word, or act, they deny in any degree the glory of our whole salvation to the Savior. Those whom Christ has saved find their highest joy in giving the honor of all their salvation to Christ.
He is "our Savior from the wrath to come." He has rescued us. He has dragged us out of the awful danger in which we stood when unsaved. "The fire and the torment our eyes shall never see." No, thank God; we "wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come." 1 Thess. 1:1010And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. (1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Death is not now for the Christian the door into the prison house of departed spirits. It is his entrance into the bliss of paradise. The dying thief by the Savior's side was sinking surely into hell whip Jesus saved him and said: "Today shalt thou be with Me in paradise." Even so, the believer on Jesus, "shall not come into judgment, but is passed from death unto life." John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).
Meditate then, fellow believer, on the bright, happy, holy eternity which is yours. Consider also the awful words in the Bible which unveil the judgment and the lake of fire awaiting the lost. While so doing, praise the Savior for His abounding grace to you, and for His suffering "even unto death, and that the death of the cross," in order to effect your salvation from the wrath to come.
